NILE Declaration
Lieutenant Colonel Pienaar, the commanding officer of the police
reinforcements at Sharpeville
“The native mentality does not allow them to gather for a peaceful demonstration. For them to gather means violence."
Message of the Secretary General United Nations
“I call on all people, especially political, civic and religious leaders, to strongly condemn messages and ideas based on racism, racial superiority or hatred as well as those that incite racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. On this Day, let us acknowledge that racial discrimination remains a dangerous threat and resolve to tackle it through dialogue inspired by the proven ability of individuals to respect, protect and defend our rich diversity as one human family”.
